we went to have Lilah's ears looked at. because Lilah likes to swim. and unfortunately, like the rest of her maternal family, she is prone to sore ears.
(both Auntie Linnie and I had ear tubes, and after years of competitive synchronised swimming, Auntie Linnie can barely go under water anymore. Lilah's Nonni has Menier's Disease, and a hearing aid (thank you for that, Nonni. Hearing Aids are SO MUCH nicer for everyone else who isn't hard of hearing. Hear that, people? If your family says check your hearing, listen to them! If you don't, you are being selfish, and your selfishness just makes people more frustrated when speaking with you). Also, Lilah's maternal great-grandfather was also a wearer of hearing aids...)
so you see... i'm ever so slightly worried that Lilah may be prone to ear issues. especially as a swimmer. and a frequent flyer.
well, according to Kaiser, Lilah does not have an ear infection at the moment, and she passed her hearing test with flying colors.
and before we left, somehow we ended up in the immunisation clinic and poor lilah had to get Hep A and Hep B vaccinations. ugh.
the best part was that we had a teleporting receptionist who was able to materialize on the 11th floor (immunisations) after we had just seen her on the 6th floor (pediatrics). that was funny.
but my research is not complete. tomorrow we go visit a highly recommended Naturopathic Doctor who does CranioSacral Therapy, which has been suggested for Lilah since her excruciatingly long 2-day birth all those years ago. I am going to get to the bottom of the sore ears before the summer is over. and after i do, you can be sure that lilah will be found in the pool everyday, and (i'm hoping) we will be able to convince her to fly back to the UK more often.
